haudidoody Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Well, we got crushed here on the south side of Fairfax, and more coming. The storm revealed a broken gutter pouring water right next to my sill... night before I leave for two weeks. I'd guess 2+ inches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolz1 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Looking at reports around the area I was surprised to find 1.51” in the rain gauge at 7am. About .20” since.The creek is as high as I have seen it this year so far.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 My cloverfield needs mowing. Too wet. Mosquitos have begun to emerge. Need a dry period to spray. Pollen is glopped all over my jeep, but futile to wash it until we get a few dry days. This event has not produced much here yet, not that I am complaining. Just over a quarter inch so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything remains historically wet from the previous 16 months up my way. If it didn’t rain much for two months that would be fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frd Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 You could wager May is going to be normal temp wise, and above with precip. The - NAO a beast right now, with another possible down cycle and the AO looks to stay negative for a while. Crazy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
